Garage sales galoreIf you wanted to find some bargains on the morning of Sunday 21 September then you should have come to Old Buckenham and followed the red balloons around the village. There were 35 different garage sales with all sorts of stuff on sale. According to the list of addresses you could have picked up a wedding dress, a sewing machine, a doll's house, children's bikes, a sand pit, a hen house, a boat with outboard, lots of children's clothes and books as well as loads of general household goods.The aim was twofold: to raise some funds for the recreation area behind the Village Hall and to make sure that lots of things were recycled rather than just going off to landfill. The weather just managed to stay dry and plenty of people were seen to be walking around and enjoying the sights of Old Buckenham.
